Mizoram Assembly elections voting updates | Polling concludes, nearly 69% voter turnout till 3 p.m.
The HinduVoting for the 40-seat Assembly concluded on November 7 in Mizoram. In the 2023 elections, the ruling Mizo National Front, the main opposition party Zoram People’s Movement and Congress have fielded candidates for all 40 seats. While BJP and Aam Aadmi Party have fielded 23 and 4 candidates, respectively, in addition to 27 independents already in the fray. The Mizoram Assembly election has apparently become a show of which political party cares more for people who have taken refuge from two of India’s neighbours. Chief Minister Zoramthanga is confident of the MNF returning to power on the strength of its performance and the initiative for ‘Zo unification’ after the ethnic violence in Manipur since May 3 made more than 11,000 Kuki-Zomi people take refuge in Mizoram.
